KANKAKEE, Ill. (AP) — A police officer who was killed at a northern Illinois hotel pleaded for her life before a man allegedly shot her with her own gun after she was disarmed during a struggle, a prosecutor said.

Bradley police Sgt. Marlene Rittmanic and her partner, Officer Tyler Bailey, were shot on Dec. 29 while investigating a noise complaint regarding dogs barking in a parked car outside a Comfort Inn. Bailey remained hospitalized Monday and is “fighting for his life,” Kankakee County State’s Attorney Jim Rowe said during a bond hearing for Xandria Harris.

Illinois lawmaker Bobby Rush's retirement marks 2 dozen Democrats leaving the House

(CNN)Rep. Bobby Rush of Illinois told the Chicago Sun-Times in an interview published Monday that he won't run for a 16th term in the US House of Representatives, the 24th House Democrat to announce plans of leaving the chamber at the end the term.

Rush is the 35th member from either party to announce they'll be leaving the House at the end of the term. That includes 11 members -- six Democrats and 5 Republicans -- who are running for Senate or governor.

Democrats have seen a wave of recent retirement announcements as they face strong headwinds for retaining their slim majority in both chambers of Congress, and Republicans see President Joe Biden's sagging approval numbers as a winning strategy for the 2022 midterms.
